Incredible Flight Around Freedom Tower
Having one of the most awesome jobs imaginable, this pilot was hired to photograph the Freedom Tower in lower Manhattan from the air. Don't try this at home...the authorities would probably be none too pleased if you did this without permission. (www.youtube.com) Altro...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

I'm not a New Yorker either, so I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Freedom Tower is the really shiny one with cranes on top. It's out of frame most of the video, though.
It's too bad it's out of frame. The flight was for a photographer to take pictures, and he probably shot out the side of the helicopter.
And yes, Freedom Tower is the shiny one with the cranes on top.

That's kinda what I thought but with it that much out of frame, I was disappointed. I guess if you want to watch the flight instead of a close up look at the tower, it's OK but my personal interest happened to be in the tower today.
Not great for actual views of the tower, true, but when it did bring the tower in frame, the panorama around it was cool to see; definitely not a great video, but it gave some idea of how the new FT fits into the NYC skyline.
Well, I guess not being a New Yorker, all the buildings looked the same to me, and with him on the move, unless you know exactly what to look for, it is a waste of time watching.
